Hi,

it looks like we agree on accepting this with a pragma, but need to
decide upon the pragma. We had these options:

 * FlexibleImports
 * QualifiedLast
 * QualifiedImportsPostpositive
 * ImportQualifiedPost

Simon M, as the shepherd, care to make a final recommendation about the
pragma and/or ask the authors to come up with one (and amend the
proposal)?

Sometimes I just want someone else to choose the actual syntax while I scowl slightly and accept it :-)

Ok, would anyone be vigorously against ImportQualifiedPost?

(on "FlexibleImports" I'm not very keen on adding an extension flag that we explicitly intend to mean different things in the future. That's just a way of getting around the extension flag policy. Either we think it's a good idea to have flags for every extension, or we don't. Yes I know we've discussed this in the past and there are grey areas, and we do already change the meaning of extensions sometimes. But pre-allocating a bucket for an unknown set of future extensions seems like a step too far to me.)

Cheers
Simon



Cheers,
Joachim
